The OnlyTom Fazio Signature Course in Pinellas County

“I've been involved with many wonderful courses in Florida. I can honestly say that The Bayou Club golf course is special to me. It's a golf course that stands the test of time, offering enjoyment for players of any caliber. The course has a subtle and distinctive flavor, a fine test of skill for the best players, yet enjoyable, fun and exciting for members of any handicap.

Founded in 1991, The Bayou Club was designed by legendary golf course architect Tom Fazio. Located in the heart of Pinellas County, the award-winning private championship course is the luxurious centerpiece of the exclusive Bayou community.

The Bayou Club was the host site of the Eckerd Pro-Am with 20 PGA Tour professionals including Gary Player, Ian Baker-Finch and Jeff Maggert paired with local club professionals.

The outstanding course layout gently weaves its way through oaks, pines, marshes and bayous. Water comes into play on 16 holes. The sights and sounds of nature abound. Great blue herons, playful otters, manatees, jumping fish and bald eagle sightings enrich your golf experience.

In the National Turfgrass Evaluation, CHAMPION had STIMP meter speeds at nearly 2 feet faster than other ultradwarf grasses.

Bayou Club Members not only enjoy championship golf, the Club offers an array of first-class golf amenities including:
